NASAL PILLOWS SYSTEM Rx Only

Thank you for choosing the Swift LT.

Intended Use

The Swift LT channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a positive airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel system.

The Swift LT is:

••to be used by adult patients (> 66 lb/30 kg) for whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed

••intended for single-patient re-use in the home environment and multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

Using the Swift LT

When using the Swift LT with ResMed flow generators that have mask setting options, if available select ‘SWIFT’; otherwise select ‘MIRAGE’ as the mask option.

For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device Compatibility List on www.resmed.com on the Products page under Service & Support. If you do not have internet access, please contact your ResMed representative

Cleaning your Swift LT in the home

Notes:

••The nasal pillows system and headgear should be cleaned by handwashing.

••The headgear may be washed without being disassembled.

WARNING

Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or essential oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg, citrus) to clean any of the system’s components. Residual vapours from these solutions can be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly. They may also damage the system, causing cracks.

4

CAUTION

If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent (cracking, crazing, tears etc.), the component should be discarded and replaced.

Daily/After Each Use

Handwash the separated mask components (excluding headgear) by gently rubbing in warm (approx. 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap for one minute. Rinse all components well with drinking quality water and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.

Weekly

Handwash the headgear and tube retainer in warm (approx. 86°F/30°C) water using mild soap. Rinse well and allow them to air dry out of direct sunlight.

Reprocessing your Swift LT between Patients

Only Sleep Lab Mask (SLM) variants of the mask are intended for multi-patient re-use. When using between patients, these masks must be reprocessed according to cleaning and disinfection instructions available on ResMed.com/ downloads/masks.

Storage

Ensure that your Swift LT is thoroughly clean and dry before storing it for any length of time. Store the mask in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Disposal

The Swift LT does not contain any hazardous substances and may be disposed of with your normal household refuse.

Before using your Swift LT

WARNINGS

••The vent holes must be kept clear.

••The mask should not be used unless the CPAP system is turned on and operating properly.

••Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.

••Oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow generator is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the flow generator enclosure and create a risk of fire.

••At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.

••The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician to check that they are compatible with the flow generator. If used outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the flow generator function.

••Discontinue using the Swift LT if you have ANY adverse reaction to the use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.

••As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP pressures.

••Refer to your flow generator manual for details on settings and operational information.

••Remove all packaging before using the mask.
